These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Delay causes
Why DL 3074 runs late
Carrier accounts for 48% of the 4,961 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Carrier
- 39%Late-arriving aircraft
- 10%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,961 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 to one. The split is drawn from 4,961 delay minutes reported on DL 3074.
Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.5% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
Every one of the 365 flights under DL 3074 in the data flew ATL to MYR. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
Booking DL 3074
